MIDI controller snap mode support

pop · February 20, 2024, 2:12pm

When having MIDI learn setup, Vital takes over the current value of the MIDI controllers knob. This ruins the parameter settings of a preset. Some MIDI hardware controllers have snap mode, the controller only starts to send messages when it first crosses the current value of the parameter in Vital.

Some MIDI controllers have a 'snap mode' (Faderfox for instance), is this suppor…ted by Surge? The synth or plugin hosts sends MIDI cc values to the controller. When in snap mode, the controller doesn't send MIDI data, until it reached / picked up the value which it got from the synth / host. Does the standalone version have a MIDI Out? Couldn't test, cause the standalone didn't launch properly on Linux.

For a workaround, is this something your host could handle?

The host I use doesn’t support it and I would also like to use it in the standalone version.
